Xavier Musketeers Basketball Tickets Information

The Xavier Musketeers Basketball team has one of the most passionate followings of any in the country. Xavier first contested a basketball game in 1920, and has been on a rapid rise through the college basketball ranks since 1980. Although only making the NCAA tournament once before 1980, the Musketeers have made over 20 appearances in the big dance since 1983, including trips to the Elite Eight in 2004 and 2008. Xavier, which had dominated the Atlantic 10 Conference, winning or sharing 8 conference championships from 1997-2011, joined the Big East Conference following the 2012-2013 season. The move to the Big East has ignited an already basketball addicted fan base, and placed the Musketeers in one of the premier basketball leagues in the country. Some of college basketball’s most memorable players have helped build this tradition at Xavier with names like David West, Jordan Crawford, Derrick Brown, James Posey, Byron Larkin, Tyrone Hill, and Brian Grant all wearing the Musketeers navy and white. Since 2000, there have been few teams that have been as exciting or successful as Xavier. With over 5 trips to the Sweet Sixteen, and countless conference regular season and tournament championships in the last 2 decades, Xavier just keeps winning.
